When I would visit our local Disney Store I would buy $50 in Disney Dollars and give them to my DS (5) for little things. He got $1 per week for cleaning his room and a $1 for doing extra little things around the house, like matching socks while I folded laundry. He also got Disney Dollars for Christmas and his birthday that year. He has some major issues with food so he would get a Disney Dollar for trying a new food. (Let me just say this wasn't the way he made most of his money, trust me!)

By the time we went to WDW he had almost $200 to spend. We would have spent that on him over our 8 day stay so it was money we didn't have to come up with at that time. He was so good with it, he had about $30 dollars left on our last day. Earning, saving, and spending money is such a good life lesson for kids.
